I think it could be interesting if it was done in they style of "Pirates of Silicon Valley."
Just don't let Uwe Boll get ahold of it.
*EDIT*
Forgot to add actual content...
It does sound like it could be neat, if done correctly. I would probably go see it.

So it goes.
maybe even something like a doc on the history channel or something.

Re: Movie about the Video Game Market Crash
I doubt it.
Absolutely!
I don't think there's enough general interest to warrant a movie. I bet even a low-budget documentary would have a hard time making its money back. Maybe if somebody used the crash as a backdrop for a fictionalized story set during the '80s, that could work...
It wasn't a movie, but G4/TechTV's "Icons" program did a half-hour episode about the Crash that's worth checking out.
Re: Movie about the Video Game Market Crash
I bet it could make money. Video games have only increased in popularity in recent years. Of course it would need to be well done.
I would pirate the SHIT out of this movie.
I think it should be done from the perspective of a game cartridge. I beleive it would go something like this:
1st 10 minutes: ET cart is buried underground in landfill
next hour & 50 minutes: ET cart breaks into a never-ending monologue, lamenting its own existance.
I'd see it.
"First, we have aspirin. A common cure for things that aspirin cures. Leads to.....rabies."
I still like my idea about a movie based on modern day video game retail. The little guy (independant owner) winning against the big guy (Evil corportaion), stopping worldwide media piracy (or trying to without avail), and getting the DDR girl - all in one day. Don't forget the huge Space Channel 5-esque Mall dancing scene where we come face to face with the movie's antagonist...
That sounds awful, honestly. How about a different plot that happens to center around someone who owns an independent videogame store? Make indie stores "cool," the way Kevin Smith made comic books "cool," even though his movies are pretty bad.
Yeah, that's another idea I kind of had... Kind of like Clerks/High Fidelity minus the Relationship parts.That sounds awful, honestly. How about a different plot that happens to center around someone who owns an independent videogame store? Make indie stores "cool," the way Kevin Smith made comic books "cool," even though his movies are pretty bad.
